Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development in this location would accord with the spatial strategy
  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect on Best and Most Versatile (BMV) agricultural land

What decided it

The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area, combined with conflict with the spatial strategy, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of the scheme.

The harm from conflict with the spatial strategy and substantial harm to character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery, affordable housing, economic benefits and biodiversity gains, so the tilted balance did not favour granting permission.
